The attached datasets contain the names of 110 German Citizens and members of the French Foreign Légion. With the French Surrender and the Armistice of 22 June 1940, German members of the French Foreign Légion were given the possibility to leave French Service and join the German Army. The datasets comprise several lists with very similar information. Only one list was digitalized, all contain the same persons, but the person's information differs. The transcripted list is the most accurate. Original documents are now held at the Archives nationales Pierrefitte-sur-Seine and were created by The Representative of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The different lists were dated September and October 1941 and February 1942, respectively.
Multiple datasets generated from the source material, including transcriptions of person entries (names, dates of birth and death where available, profession and often location, remarks and operating unit) and structured person instance data derived from them are provided. Key historic person instance information (appearances in documents), serialized as JSON according to a formal schema is available, together with the JSON Schema itself. This is intended for use by external applications, and can also be searched interactively using a DPCL presentation website (see below) which explains the datasets further. In contrast to transcription data, which represents the printed and hand-written source material, and is often organized inconsistently, the historic person instance data provided here enables reliable searching across multiple archival sources. The historic person instance JSON is lightweight to enable scalability across large numbers of sub-collections/archives: it does not contain all of the information sometimes transcribed, such as remarks and military operating unit. However it does provide IIIF canvas IDs, connecting the person instance to the page in the source document where it originally occurred.
Where annotations can be generated from transcriptions they are provided as Web Annotation Data Model (WADM) annotation collections serialized as JSON, which are linked to source documents via PIDs. The annotation data can be used independently with the IIIF service provided here, to connect person instances interactively to their occurrence in the source documents. Provided principally for analysis preservation and verification purposes, the transcription data is less suitable for automated searching than the historic person instance JSON (above).
These datasets are also deposited in the Zenodo global catch-all repository as record DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.7065035.

The attached dataset contains information about 30 French individuals and French companies who were trading with Japanese businesses and the army during the war. In addition, a commentary on the business relationship and the surrounding circumstances are added to the individual record. Original documents are now held at the Archives nationales Pierrefitte-sur-Seine, were compiled on the 2nd of April 1949.

The attached datasets contain the names of twelve French functionaries who were to be relieved of their function by the 12th of March, 1941. The original documents, now in the Archives Nationales d'Outre Mer - Mairie d'Aix-en-Provence, were compiled on 12th March 1941 by the State prosecutor Gaston Lafrique.

The attached datasets contain the names of 114 French citizens and companies who, after the Second World War, declared that they had economic relations with the enemy during the war. In that case, this enemy was mainly Japan. Unfortunately, little information beyond a list of names is given. Original documents are now held at the Archives nationales Pierrefitte-sur-Seine and were compiled on the 27th of November 1947.

This data is based upon a searchable database provided by the Archives Nationales. It has been created within the process of a collaboration between the "Mémorial de la Shoah", the "US Holocaust Memorial Museum", and the "Archives Nationales". The dataset comprises 15'096 Persons who lost their citizenship due to new legislation by the Vichy Regime. The main target of these denaturalization efforts was the Jewish population in France. The persons targeted by this legislation resided predominantly in metropolitan France; some in the French colonies of Northern Africa, but very few with Connections to East Asia. Original documents are now held at the Archives nationales Pierrefitte-sur-Seine.
